Grief is basically an emotional rollercoaster with no safety bar. One moment, I’m deep in sadness, the next, I’m laughing because I remembered something ridiculous they did. Am I grieving or losing my mind? Unclear. 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

Yes, I got your text.
No, I didn't reply because I felt sick at the time and then I forgot all about it.
Don't make it weird.

I wish people understood the debilitating pain of endometriosis - physical, mental, emotional, financial and the list goes on.

Shocking that's there's still no endometriosis framework in Ireland. How long will we have to wait?!

Lack of endometriosis framework sees women suffer 'untold damage'
An estimated one in 10 women  suffer with endometriosis, which can damage their organs, cause infertility, and leave them in severe pain

Every year around this time I post this comic up on the Find Chaffy Facebook page. I wait until other viral sites start posting it, then do it officially myself. It’s become a bit of a weird and lovely tradition for a lot of people, and it’s so nice 🫡
